Installing Oracle WebLogic Server

If you plan to manage Oracle Unified Directory with ODSM, you must install Oracle WebLogic Server, as described in this section. For complete installation information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.

1. Insert the Oracle WebLogic Server CD-ROM or download the Oracle WebLogic Server Installer from the following Web site:

   http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/index-087510.html

2. Locate the appropriate executable file for your system, for example:

   • wls1035_linux32.bin for 32-bit Linux systems

   • wls1035_win32.exe for 32-bit Windows systems

   • wls1035_generic.jar for all 64-bit platforms

   The 32-bit executable files are bundled with the appropriate JDK version. If you use the 64-bit installer, you will need to invoke the installer with a supported JDK for your platform. This JDK must be installed on your system before you install Oracle WebLogic Server. Refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware certification document for a list of supported JDKs for your platform

3. Run the Oracle WebLogic Server Installer directly from the CD-ROM, or copy the file to your local system and run it locally. For 64-bit installations:

   • Replace JAVA_HOME with the installation location of the supported JDK you installed for your platform.

   • Use the -d64 flag when using 32/64-bit hybrid JDK's (such as the HP JDK for HP-UX and SUN JDK for Solaris SPARC).

   • Execute JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version (or JAVA_HOME/bin/java -d64 -version on 32/64-bit hybrid JDKs) to ensure that your JAVA_HOME refers to a 64-bit JDK.

   Examples for 32-bit systems:

   Linux:

   ./wls1035_linux32.bin

   Windows:

   wls1035_win32.exe

   Examples for 64–bit sytems:

   UNIX:

   JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar wls1035_generic.jar

   or

   JAVA_HOME/bin/java -d64 -jar wls1035_generic.jar

   Windows:

   JAVA_HOME\bin\java -jar wls1035_generic.jar

   Click Next.

4. On the Choose Middleware Home Directory screen, appears select Create a new Middleware Home.

   The Middleware Home directory must be the same directory as the OUD Base Location Home that you defined when you installed Oracle Unified Directory (see Step 7 of the previous procedure). If these directories are not the same, ODSM will not work correctly.

   Click Browse to navigate to the OUD Base Location Home directory, then click Next.

   ---

   Note - A message is displayed, indicating that the directory is not empty. Click Yes to proceed with the installation.

   Click Next.

6. On the JDK Selection screen, select a valid JDK.

7. On the Choose Install Type screen, select Typical and click Next.

8. On the Choose Product Installation Directories screen, verify the location for the WebLogic Server Installation and click Next.

9. If you are installing Oracle WebLogic Server on a UNIX system, the Installation Summary screen is displayed. Proceed to step 9.

   If you are installing Oracle WebLogic Server on a Windows system, the Choose Shortcut Location screen appears. Specify a location where you want Windows to create a shortcut to Oracle products and click Next.

10. Click Next on the Installation Summary screen.

11. On the Installation Complete screen, de-select Run Quickstart and click Done to exit the Installer.
